ARE YOU WITH ME?

My name is Zayden Agevin and I can see death clocks. Basically, I know exactly when people are going to die and trust me when I say I don't enjoy it. Some might say I could use this to save people. Trust me, I tried. For an entire year. And it never worked. No matter how hard I tried, their death was already written down and nothing I did was going to change it. This made me question the use of this power if I couldn't even help others with it. I found myself falling into a pit of despair and hopelessness. I had to watch them die and it hurt cause I knew when they were going to die but still couldn't do anything.

And then I met them. The orphans at Shallow Brooks Orphanage Home.

There were ten of them since it was a small orphanage. We visited them on our school trip to the woods to camp for the weekend. They were so full of life so when I saw the clocks above all their heads counting down to the exact same time, my heart dried out. One month. All they had was one month. All of them.

I knew I couldn't save them, but I could give them beautiful memories, right? I can do that. I have only a month but I can make it work if I visit them everyday. Thank goodness it's the beginning of winter. My school always shuts down then. I can help them, at least as much as I can. But I won't give up. God, if there's a way to save them, anyway at all, please help me. Please.

(Fun fact: I was saying some of the lines in Japanese as I wrote them. Anime does that.)
